Compensation Committees

Executive compensation has become a flashpoint issue for board members, institutional investors, regulators, and the media. Compensation committees are challenged to design compensation programs that not only tie business or corporate strategies to company performance, but also motivate top executives and valued employees. At the same time, committees must address investor expectations for what is appropriate against a backdrop of heightened regulatory activity and public awareness. This course moves beyond examining what creates problems in compensation arrangements to structuring more effective plans that drive long-term corporate performance, company profitability, employee satisfaction, and exceptional success.  The program challenges the traditional approach to measuring and rewarding outstanding performance.
